The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

222 next time

On the way to the field, Tang Dingquan met Wang Mazi and his wife from the same village.

A rural woman with a big butt and a good-looking but not good-looking one.

The old rich man Xu was put on trial, and Tang Dingquan got a big deal, but Wang Mazi's luck was not so good.

The land he rented belonged to the rich man Zhao from the next village.

The old rich man Zhao believed in Buddhism and was always willing to do good deeds, so he had a very good reputation in the countryside.

If anyone can't afford to pay the rent on weekdays, just tell the old rich man Zhao that it can be postponed for a while.

Repairing roads and bridges, and helping the villages are also done a lot!
The public trial of the Restoration Army will definitely not go to the old rich man Zhao.

Therefore, Wang Mazi is still a member of the extremely poor class.

"Brother Wang, what are you doing here?"

Seeing Wang Mazi going out with a backpack on his back, Tang Dingquan ran after him with the wind on his feet, and asked.

Wang Mazi revealed a distressed expression, and said.

"Our family has no land, and there are too many brothers and sisters in the family, and we can hardly support them!"

"My eldest brother went to join the army as a soldier, and the court gave him An Jiatian."

"But An Jiatian is in Luzon. My father told me to take my daughter-in-law to Luzon to help my elder brother take care of those fields and not let them go to waste."

In Wang Mazi's view, to go to Luzon is to leave home!
People are far from their hometowns, and when they go to Luzon, they will not be bullied to death!
Tang Dingquan patted Wang Mazi on the shoulder, and spoke in relief.

"Brother Wang, don't be so pessimistic, this is not necessarily a bad thing!"

"You leave your hometown and go to Luzon to help your elder brother take care of Anjiatian. When he retires in the future, why don't you share a few acres?"

"If he doesn't divide your acres of good land, can your father spare him?"

When Wang Mazi heard this, he thought about it and thought it was true.

Although my father is rigid, he has always treated his brothers and sisters equally.

I feel a little better immediately!
Wang Mazi took his mother-in-law with him on the road to Luzon in a troubled mood.

Tang Dingquan continued to go to the ground.

Thinking that these fields will be his own in the future, he worked harder and harder.

Drops of sweat fell into the soil, but he didn't feel tired at all.

There are far fewer people in the countryside today than usual.

Some of the young and strong went to apply for the army.

There are also many people who choose to work in the court's construction sites and factories to earn money to support their families.

After fierce ideological struggles, more landless peasants decided to immigrate to Luzon to live a better life!

The outflow of a large number of labor force has greatly eased the sharp land conflict in Qiongzhou!

And more importantly, as there are fewer and fewer landless farmers in Qiongzhou, the landlords and gentry have also begun to take the initiative to reduce rent and interest in order to retain their tenants.

……

In the early morning, Qiongzhou Island was filled with a layer of mist, which dispelled the heat in the air and replaced it with a touch of coolness that no one could refuse.

Zhu Hongyu opened his eyes from his sleep, and looked at the delicate-looking beauty beside his pillow.

I secretly thought in my heart, Ruanrou Township is a tomb of heroes, my ancestors sincerely do not deceive me!
Zhu Hongyu has been late for several days since accepting the girl Wen Wen.

Although according to modern times, it is only early seven o'clock, but for Zhu Hongyu, it is already too late.

Shaking his head, he swore secretly that he would get up early tomorrow and not fall any further.

Just when he was about to get up, the sleepy eyes of the girl next to the pillow opened, and the delicate appearance of a beauty just waking up made Zhu Hongyu move his index finger.

In an instant, he convinced himself!

Definitely next time!
Then, she turned over and pressed the beauty under her body...

When the clouds cleared and the rain cleared, Zhu Hongyu got dressed and went to the front hall to have breakfast.

But Wen Wen was unbearable to conquer, and fell into a deep sleep again.

He didn't care too much, while eating breakfast, he listened to his secretary's report on what he had to deal with today.

"Your Highness, a fleet from Luzon has arrived today!"

"Lord Luo Wenzaoluo, the cabinet officials from various ministries, as well as the relevant personnel from the Conscription Department under the Commander's Mansion of the Five Armies, as well as the technical backbone of the arsenal, will all arrive today."

Zhu Hongyu put down the bun in his hand, and then spoke.

"Ask someone to prepare a welcome ceremony, and go alone to welcome them!"

If the Restoration Army wants to establish a stable rule in Qiongzhou, it has to draw people from Luzon.

The reason why Luo Wenzao was transferred to Qiongzhou was because Daming was going to attack Macau next.

After discussions between Zhu Hongyu and Zheng Chenggong, in order to reinforce the anti-Qing rebel army in South Australia, the selected target was Macau.

One is for the Portuguese Bucarao Cannon Foundry in Macau, as well as the trade distribution center of Macau.

The second is that Macau is not far from Guangzhou!
Even warships can go directly to the city of Guangzhou along the Pearl River.

The Ming army captured Macau, and then went for a walk around the city of Guangzhou. It is hard to believe that Shang Kexi still has the intention to continue to encircle and suppress the anti-Qing rebels in Nan'ao and other places.

Luo Wenzao had lived in Macau for most of his life. With him leading the way, it would be much easier for the Ming army to attack Macau.

Luo Wenzao is now full of disgust for Catholicism after his three views were shattered by the things that were driven out by the Catholic Church.

By the way, I also lost my favor with the Portuguese!
The Ming army asked him to lead the way to attack Macau, Luo Wenzao responded very positively, and did not shirk in the slightest.

The transfer of officials from various ministries under the cabinet is to establish a stable ruling order in Qiongzhou and fill the vacancies of officials.

The purpose of mobilizing manpower in the recruitment department is to establish a recruit camp in Qiongzhou and expand the scale of recruitment.

The purpose of transferring technical backbones from the arsenal is to build an arsenal nearby after the development of the Shilu Iron Mine to meet the large-scale expansion of the Liberation Army in Qiongzhou.

In fact, no matter in terms of population structure, development level, or natural resources, etc...

Except for the fact that the landlords and gentry in Qiongzhou are too powerful.

Compared with Luzon, Qiongzhou is more suitable as the foundation of the Northern Expedition of the Restoration Army!
If it weren't for the fact that Qiongzhou is too close to the mainland battlefield, there is only a strait separating it.

Zhu Hongyu was worried that the Ming army's Northern Expedition, if the war with the Manchu Qing was unfavorable, Qiongzhou would not be able to survive.

Perhaps he simply ordered the ruling core of the military government to move from Luzon to Qiongzhou!
The secretary bowed to accept the order, and then retreated to prepare for the matter.

……

Now, the war in Qiongzhou has all been put down.

The Qing army on the island either surrendered or were completely wiped out.

With the investigation of Dingkou and the work of clearing Zhang Zhang's fields, the local ruling order was gradually established.

All units of the Liberation Army have also been repaired and are ready to go into battle at any time.

Zhu Hongyu knows, wait for him to settle things in Qiongzhou.

After arranging the development of the Shilu Iron Mine, the arsenal, and the recruit camp.

The Ming Dynasty is about to officially launch the Northern Expedition to the Mainland!
To say he wasn't nervous would be a lie.

Once the Ming army made a northern expedition to the mainland, it would be the main force of the Qing army, not the waste green battalion in Qiongzhou.

He has no idea what the battle situation will be like!
